Tavia Yeung has put her family first since she gave birth to her daughter and son and became a mother, and her performances in front of the screen have been greatly reduced. Recently, she finally has a new work released, playing the queen of revenge in the new series "Darkside of the Moon", already having destructive power with a single look and being highly praised by viewers. The series has even topped many hot lists in Mainland. Tavia, who is being called a hot favourite for 'TV Queen', is keeping a normal attitude toward awards; in reality, she has to play the role of a 'tiger mom' well.
Tavia expressed in an interview with Ta Kung Pao that, this time, she played 'Yu Moon Yuet', who carried out a series of plans for revenge in the series, and every step was full of scheming and deployment; it was extremely satisfying to play this role. TVB also has fewer series with the theme of female revenge, which is a challenge for her. Regarding being highly praised by netizens for her sharp and powerful eyes, Tavia said that she previously played more strong women, and there would be more dialogue, but this character hides a lot of her feelings in her heart, which cannot be expressed in words and can only be expressed with the facial expressions and eyes, hoping that the viewers would be able to see it in these subtle places.
Particularly Immersed When Playing Sisters with Elder Sister
The emotional scenes of the three sisters in the series also left an impression on her. She and her biological sister, Griselda Yeung, also acted as sisters in the series, which made her particularly immersed. Her elder sister's performance spurred her on. Priscilla Wong played her younger sister; it was their first collaboration, but there were also sparks. The three of them also have a sisterly relationship outside of the series; through this series, they all improved their acting skills. Apart from the emotional scenes of the three sisters, Tavia also had many scenes with Lin Xia Wei, who played her classmate. In the past, it was easy for gossip to circulate among actresses, but it was extremely harmonious this time, and everyone worked happily together. Tavia laughingly said, "In fact, I have been filming series for so many years, and there has not been much gossip. We all work hard to play our characters well, and there is no need to resort to trickery. Every actor has an outstanding area to show off his or her natural skills, and it deserves to be appreciated. Everyone has different qualities; there is no need for a minor issue to take precedence over a major one and to steal other people's spotlight".
Would Tavia perform as a husband and wife partnership with her husband, Him Law? She thought for a moment and said, "Could also. If there is a suitable script and role, there would always be a slot for it. I don't mind performing as a husband and wife partnership, but it would not be too good if playing a married couple. Can be arch enemies. Also played arch enemies when filming 'Modern Dynasty' previously. I think that, if [we] are playing a married couple, viewers may not want to see the two of us hug and kiss in front of the camera". In recent years, reality shows have become popular. Tavia admitted that someone had asked their family to shoot a family reality show earlier, but the schedule could not be accommodated at that time, and there was also the pandemic, so [they] declined. She thinks that, if it is shooting the experience of the family going on a trip, it is okay...can let the children experience it and act as a keepsake, but she herself is not used to having cameras shooting her for 24 hours a day, as there is a private life.
Hopes to Collaborate and Battle with Charmaine Sheh in Acting Again
Mentioning that she and Nancy Wu, the female lead of another anniversary series, "No Return", have become the hot favourites for 'TV Queen', Tavia believes that Nancy's thoughts are similar to hers; everyone is also keeping a normal attitude. She said, "It has always been like this. Would not put the award first. On the contrary, [if] the series has good results and viewers like it, I am even happier. Everyone's approval of my acting skills is already enough, so there is no need to think too much about it. It is okay to do a good job of yourself". It has been pointed out the her character is like 「Man姐 2.0」. Netizens are looking forward to her collaborating and battling with Charmaine Sheh in acting. Tavia expressed that, if there is a suitable role, she also looks forward to collaborating with Charmaine again. The last time they collaborated was already "Beyond the Realm of Conscience". If a script is able to find so many actors to come back to film, she also finds it very captivating. Mentioning that Him's work this year, "Happily Ever After?", also had good results, and he even publicly expressed that he wants to win awards with his wife, Tavia said, "I believe that he hopes for us to be on stage to let [our] children see our results and see our efforts, and let the next generation see the importance of upholding one's initial mindset. Of course, it would be best if we win awards together".
